This book, is a far as I know, the only book in English that covers every aspect of Danish grammer you will ever need to learn Dansh. Don't buy this book if you want a few phrases buy this if you want to really learn the Danish - it is the best out there.

This isn't a book for weekend tourists. This is for those who want in-depth knowledge of the language, say foreigners who want their business correspondence to be written in flawless Danish, or higher-level second language students aiming for excellent scores. There are no quick-quizzes or teach-yourself exercises. It is a comprehensive collection of rules (and exceptions to these) that serve as the foundation for the language.
A lot of Danish language books tend to avoid discussing grammar altogether, and focus instead on skills like social conversation, pronunciation, or vocabulary for daily living. That's a great approach too, but at some point, serious students will look for a firm scaffold on which to build new knowledge. This is an excellent reference for such students.

If you want to understand the language of Danish -- and Danes are sticklers for grammar, both Danish and English -- then you must have this book or a Danish nun as a teacher. The cross-cultural equivalent of Warriner's English; everything but sentence diagramming. Not quite Strunk & White's Elements of Style, but I need its 600-plus pages. The terminology is "rather" British (see "copulative conjunctions"), yet it even instructs how to properly form colloquial sentences -- "so" colloquial that a Danish friend to whom I had written thought I must have made a mistake because the sentence structure I had used, as a beginner, seemed to arcanely correct. In short, this book is outwardly dull but extremely useful.
